I have been hanging around Polishforums for a month or so now (found it while I was searching for Polish grammar resources), and I have noticed that many people are making posts looking for links and info on Polish language learning resources on the web and these links then get buried again within the threads, so I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to links.
Listed below are the most useful of what I have found so far. I'm sure some of you will know of lots of other sources which you can add in.
Enjoy

and when learning Polish, odwagi! (courage!)
Groups 1.-4. are FREE Polish resources:
All of these exist as of today 17.04.07, and most have been around for years.
Everyting in 1-3 can be downloaded to your own computer for offline use.
1. Serious Courses

A comprehensive first year University course. Lots of goodies - includes a good polish-english dictionary and a reference grammar. All in pdf format, free to download. This is the best and most useful resource i have yet found. I use it all the time.
h t t p://polish.slavic.pitt.edu/

Here you will find a serious look at polish grammar, bilingual in polish and english.
Sections are still under construction, but a very useful resource for us polish junkiez

Elementary Poolish - A short on line course for beginners:

3. Some basic information resources

Some basic Polish vocabulary here:

There's some paralell polish and english texts here

and sounds recordings of the texts in polish here, though the speaker speaks very fast...

There's a little summary of some Polish grammar here:

A children's book in Polish: Wakacje Mikołajka - exists also in its original french - Les Vacances du Petit Nicolas - not sure about english.
The level of language is sufficient for learner's reading practice - this is the book I am currently translating into english as an exercise! And it's a good read too.
Polish only I'm afraid, but relatively easy, and we all have our słownik don't we

4. One of the best online dictionaries I have yet found:

That sounds like fun - I find translations are great for building vocabulary. And translationg polish to english is a lot earier than english to ploish, unless you are polish of course!
